Has Anyone Believe me? Crysis rocks 2900xt

I made a thread long time ago about my prediction, belief and opinion that Crysis will perform better on ATI cards than Nvidia Cards.... I was gonna continue to that thread but I search and search no find the thread so decided to make new.

my prediction, belief and opinion that Crysis will perform better on ATI cards than Nvidia Cards due to the huge amount of Shader Power on the ATI cards..... Crysis is a graphic like most PS3 titles (CG-like gameplay) which determine by shader power and eats lots of shader power. ATI cards happend to have superior Shader Power than Nvidia. Sure Nvidia cards such as the 8800 ultra can beat the 2900xt in non CG-like gameplay such as Battlefield 2142 but in CG-like gameplay graphic like Crysis.... the table turns..... 2900xt is superior due to the huge amount of shader power.

prediction, belief and opinion:
- 2900XT beats 8800 Ultra in Crysis
- 2900XT beats 8800 GTX in Crysis
- 2900XT beats 8800 GTS in Crysis
- dual 2900XT beats dual 8800 ultra in Crysis
- 2600XT beats 8600 GT in Crysis
- X1950XTX beats 7900 GTX in Crysis
- X1900XTX beats 7900 GTX in Crysis

Heard Crysis demo is out..... so who has 2900xt and 8800 ultra? did you test it? did the 2900xt got better performance than the 8800 ultra in maximum settings? see? told cha!

edit: also dont forget about the system ram! many people these days always says 2gig is enough for every game these days.... it may be true.... but Crysis is a whole different story! Crysis is a real future game! super realistic! and super CG-like gameplay graphic! it needs lots of ram and not just 2gig! 2gig of ram is just a mosquito to the mighty Crysis! I would say 3.5gig to play with average performance and 6gig is high performance and 8gig is True Performance... Guarenteed no sudden hiccup laggness. steady and smooth... super stabilized. remember everything I say is base on super maximum settings.

First off where are your facts on this matter???

And secondly ....are you just trying to start a flaim war here on GPU branding???? Its been done B4 , and it doesn't usually end up well!

Shouldn't you wait until this is tested to start rubbing it in? I'd hate to see an ATI fanboy's dreams get crushed.....yet again. Also predictions, beliefs and opinions are all the same thing in your case. You're just hoping its better based on a guess because of shaders. I honestly don't care which is superior, its not my kind of game, and my 8800GTX outperforms the 2900 in every game that I do play.

I have no idea how true your claims are, Hidden, but I'm curious to find out.

This game hits me as "optimised for Nvidia" so we'll see what happens. ;)

would that be because of the huge NVIDIA logo that pops up on the startup, or because of the driver release with optimizations for this exact game?....lol (bit of sarcasm)

We'll have to see what happens, I don't care who they trend towards as long as I can enjoy the game on my setup. IMO it's not really that big of deal if it only consist's of a few FPS anyways, sure if it was like a 15-30fps difference, that's one thing, and again oh well if it plays good on both NV and AMD/ATI cards, which it will. At least upper-mid-range to high-end stuff.

:toast:

But I will have to see some results...does the demo have any sort of bench built in by chance?

Who cares what card plays the game better. Just take solace in the fact that you can actually PLAY the game.

Who cares who has more/bigger/better NOUN? Just enjoy the fact that you can VERB.

When do people ever abide by that argument, even though its true? :p

The difference will be slight. Realtime soft shadows with full DX10 overlay rendering are a drain for any card(s). But, while you may find slight performance gain with the shadow filtering, you will most likely not find it with the processing and particle placement.


That's all fine and dandy that you can move around the jungle but then you hit combat and what crash to desktop ? lol



So far the only graphically impressive thing about Crysis has been the shading levels, other than that it doesn't make my jaw drop.

Apply it to lungs, and breathing.
I think you will find everyone will abide by it.
Not smokers.

Unfortunately, speaking from experience.

At least your giving your CPU/Tec/IHS a break :roll:

Like I said, that's only because there's nothing left for me to attempt to destroy. :roll:

With my 2900 Pro flashed to XT, I got the following framerates.

1680x1050
Max settings, no AA

Min 21, Average 26, Max 31

Those numbers seem very low, but the gameplay was never once choppy, a huge credit to Crytek.

ATI does good, but I would need to see how the 8800's do. All tests were done with FRAPS.

Eh, but what were you doing in the game, standing in the forest or in the middle of a firefight?


I'd have a hard time believing you get a solid 20+ fps with all 'very high' while in the midst of action. With "High" shaders yes, but Very High...at 1600+ resolution on an 4300 chip?


If that's the case, you're putting people with 4ghz chips and GTXs to shame :)

Fire Fights and explosions. Yeah, I am getting solid 20+ FPS at all times in game.

I was set as high as the demo would let me go, with no AA.

I'm hoping I can play on medium settings. I'll probably end up playing at 1400x900 though.

I've yet to see anyone with a simliar setup to mine run it though. I wont have a chance to play through til later next week or next weekend. :(

My setup is actually weaker and runs it if it makes you feel any better. :) High everything except low objects because it makes me, and no AA/AF because when I turn it on, the game turns it off, and this is just scenery, I am CPU bottlenecked in firefights, so it freezes up for a couple seconds.
